  • PPro performance on 2010 Mac Pro

    Posted by Herb Sevush on January 28, 2014 at 7:18 pm

    I currently have a 2010 MacPro dual 2.4 Quad Core with 32 gigs ram.

    I’m thinking of switching over to CC in the spring and want to know if anyone is working with a similar setup and either a Quadro K5000 or GTX 680 GPU and what the performance with PPro is like.

    Thanks.

    We run Pr CC on the 2008 Mac Pro with GTX680. No real problems.

    We are using the same, 2010 Mac Pros 2×2.4Ghz Quad-Core Xenon, with 28GB RAM. Everything runs smooth. Make sure to get a CUDA card. We use the NVIDIA Quadro 4000 2048MB. Then you will really be impressed with the real time playback. For basic editing we’ll have an Apple ProRes 422 clip with Chroma/Ultra key, a video clip for the background, Three-Way Color Corrector on both tracks, some scaling and repositioning for both, and a lower-third graphic on top, it all plays back in real time.

    Thank you, sound good for me.

    2009 octo-core mac here with 16 GB ram and the Quadro 4000
    with a fiber channel Raid.

    Ya CC works great! The Quadro/CUDA makes a BIG difference in workflow.

    Realtime 1080P unrendered playback of alpha channel (for keying qc)with ultrakey is fun!
